Hello, and welcome to this fine episode of View From The Quad, available at www.viewfromthequad.com!

This week’s episode of View From The Quad is brought to you by the Sonic Boom trust fund. More about that important cause in the episode.

Hi there, loyal listener or fresh newbie to the VFTQ universe! Today on the show, I talk about Tee Morris, who has hit a very dark part of his life, and how podcasters, podcast listeners and his friends are gathering together to try to make this point in time go as smoothly as it can go for both him and his daughter.
On the topics side of things, I talk about my time in the School that wasn’t, The Institute, a failed snowball fight attempt and the first season of House. I also speak about the latest episode of Dollhouse, but at the very end of the show, so don’t you worry about spoilers.
We also discuss the difference in how people in Fan culture speak and act (as opposed to “Mundains”), how new airport scanners may break child porn laws, how Atheist Ireland is tempting a new anti-blasphemy law by publishing 25 blasphemous quotations and a God Mode unearthed in Windows 7, and how it has begun a holy war.

Instead of donating to me this week, I’m asking you to donate to Sonic Boom’s trust fund, set up after her mother, and the wife of one podcasting legend Tee Morris, died suddenly. Give all that you can spare and read more about the tragedy and how the money will be spent at http://bit.ly/6U9kvC. Thanks. Tee, although he has gone dark online after the death, really appriciates your help.
